Naruto found himself in the Justice League's cafeteria, a tray of food in front of him. He was still getting used to the strange new world he had been thrust into. As he took a bite of his sandwich, he noticed a man in green, with a bow slung over his shoulder, approaching him.

"Mind if I join you?" Green Arrow asked, not waiting for an answer before sitting down.

Naruto shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

Green Arrow eyed Naruto's food skeptically. "Is that all you're eating? You look like you could use a few more calories."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "It's gonna have to do. Besides, I missed breakfast and you guys don't have ramen."

Green Arrow smirked. "Ramen?" What kind of ninja are you?"

Naruto bristled at the comment. "The kind that saves worlds, thank you very much."

Green Arrow chuckled, clearly enjoying the banter. "Touché. So, what's your deal, kid? Are you some kind of magical ninja from the states or something?"

Naruto sighed, feeling a bit exasperated. "Yeah, something like that. And what's your deal? You some kind of Robin Hood wannabe?"

Green Arrow's eyes narrowed. "Watch it, kid. I've been doing this a lot longer than you."

Naruto grinned, enjoying the back-and-forth. "Yeah, well, I've faced aliens and demons. What have you got?"

Green Arrow leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "I've got a quiver full of arrows and a lot of experience with weapons, manufacturing, and women from around the globe...Mostly from Scandinavia, so don't underestimate me."

Naruto took another bite of his sandwich, chewing thoughtfully as he barely understood what the archer was listing, mostly that last bit "Fair enough. So, what's it like being part of the Just-us League?"

Green Arrow shrugged. "It's got its ups and downs. We save the world, but there's a lot of paperwork."

Naruto laughed. "Paperwork? Seriously?"

Green Arrow nodded, a wry smile on his face. "Seriously. You'd be surprised how much bureaucracy goes into saving the world."

Naruto shook his head, still chuckling. "Man, I thought dealing with the Hokage was bad."

Green Arrow's expression softened slightly to confusion. " The what?"

Naruto's smile faded a bit. "The leader of my home."

"OH...cool name." Green Arrow says awkwardly.

"It's okay, I can barely understand what you guys say either." Naruto admits with a wry smile.

"Whoa, hey now...what do you mean "you guys"?"

As Naruto and Green Arrow continued their conversation sharing laughs. The initial annoyance giving way to a mutual understanding. Despite their differences, they both immediately bond with the playful sides of their personalities. The cafeteria's atmosphere was suddenly disrupted however. A tall and muscular bald green man dressed in mostly black and blue phased through the wall, his presence silent but startling. It's the Martian Manhunter!

"Green Arrow, they're ready for you," Martian Manhunter announced in his calm, deep voice.

"WHOA!"

Naruto, caught off guard, jumped up and instinctively threw his fork at the Martian's forehead. The fork bounced harmlessly off Martian Manhunter's dense skin, clattering to the floor.

Green Arrow quickly placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "Whoa, easy there, Naruto. He's one of us."

Naruto, still wide-eyed, took a deep breath and relaxed. "Sorry about that. You just… surprised me."

Martian Manhunter gave a small, understanding smile. "No harm done. It's understandable given the circumstances."

Green Arrow nodded. "Naruto, this is Martian Manhunter. He's the smartest member of the League...ARGUABLY"

Naruto nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Nice to meet you, Martian Manhunter. Sorry about the fork."

Martian Manhunter inclined his head. "No apology necessary. Welcome to our world, Naruto."

Green Arrow stood up, ready to leave. "I've got to go. Duty calls. If you pop up again, I'll give you a tour around the place."

Naruto gave him a thumbs-up. "Got it. Thanks, Greenie!"

As Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter left the cafeteria, Naruto sat back down, his heart still racing a bit from the unexpected encounter.


Elsewhere...

In the slums of Jump City, the evening air was thick with the scent of decay and desperation. A scruffy man in his mid to late twenties, clad in a tattered hoodie, navigated the labyrinthine alleys. His footsteps echoed softly against the grimy walls, but suddenly, the sharp clanging of metal broke the silence, startling him. The rhythmic tapping of metal against metal played a familiar tune—"We Will Rock You."

No matter where you walk to, run to, struttin' down the hall with a big guilt on your face! Big disgrace! You're gonna get caught when you give a CHASE!

The hooded man, Tyler, looked up, his eyes widening as he spotted the source of the sound. Perched on a fire escape above him was Robin, tapping his metal bo staff against the rails in time with the song.

"WE WILL WE WILL STOP YOU!" Robin sang, his voice echoing through the alley.

"WE WILL WE WILL STOP YOU!" came the chorus.

Robin smirked down at Tyler. "Sup, Ty?"

Tyler's eyes darted around, searching for an escape. "What do you want?"

Robin's expression remained nonchalant. "Yeah, last week, I'm gonna need some more THIS week."

Tyler's heart raced. "I told you everything last week!"

Robin shrugged. "Oh, and can you try not to run this time? I got Kid Flash on speed dial, so be smart about thi—"

But Tyler was already sprinting down the alley.

Robin sighed. "Or stupid, that's another option."

Before Tyler could reach the street, a dark, raven-shaped figure with glowing red eyes swooped down, engulfing him in shadows. The raven reappeared on a rooftop, spitting Tyler out like rotten food. Terrified, Tyler found himself cornered by both Raven and Robin.

Panting, Tyler stammered, "I… I thought you said you had Kid Flash on speed dial."

Raven's eyes glowed with disdain. "You would've been caught either way, dumbass."

Robin chuckled at Raven's insult but quickly grew serious. "OK, so unless you wanna fall through a bottomless hell dimension again, I suggest you get to talking."

Tyler slumped against the ledge, pulling out a cigarette. "I don't have much to say this time. I'm just a regular Joe trying to reconcile with my faith."

Robin nodded. "Happy to hear that, but any little bit counts."

Tyler fumbled for a lighter. "You got a light?"

With a casual snap of her fingers, Raven conjured a flame, igniting Tyler's cigarette. He nearly dropped it in surprise but managed to take a drag, nodding in appreciation.

"Sebastian's been all over the place," Tyler began. "He's been recruiting more followers like me and plays favoritism by giving the 'chosen ones' superpowers. I also heard rumors of him being involved in human trafficking. But not just any humans—people with big pink eyes. Literal pink eyes."

Tyler pulled out his phone, showing them a picture. Raven levitated the phone from his hand, bringing it closer for her and Robin to examine.

"Where's this from? Japan?" Robin asked.

"Cambodia," Tyler replied. "Got it from a friend, but I told him I didn't want any part of it, I swear."

Raven's eyes narrowed. "It's the Hyuga Clan."

Robin looked at her, surprised. "You know them?"

Raven nodded. "And so does Naruto. They're from his world."

Robin's suspicion grew, but he kept his focus on Tyler. "Can I have that back now?"

Raven smirked. "I already swiped through your gallery."

Tyler's eyes widened in horror. "WHAT!?"

"You outdated Gothic little BITCH!" "That's a violation of my personal privacy!" The indignant Tyler shouts.

Robin chuckled. "Ty, I'm not one to judge. I've seen worse, and it's thankfully nothing illegal."

Raven continued swiping through the photos. "So far."

Robin sighed. "But PLEASE, for the love of whoever you worship now, double your efforts in getting your faith back."

Tyler nodded frantically. "I promise, now give it back."

Raven's expression suddenly turned alarmed. "What the hell?"

Tyler's face went pale. "T-that one has Russell Silver Syndrome!"

A loud buzzing filled the air as a large swarm of cicadas descended upon them. Tyler's terror was palpable as he whispered, "Oh no…"
